What are the humanities?
The
humanities deal with what is distinctively human: with the contributions of
human beings to advances in artistic or literary expression and
philosophical thought, the use and study of language, and the application of
values to all human enterprises. The humanities can also be concerned with
advances in science, engineering, math, psychology and other disciplines and
professions when those advances are understood as part of our culture.
At Saint Martin's University, the humanities are represented by majors in
religious studies, English, theatre arts, music and an interdisciplinary
studies major. A student can also choose a minor in religious studies,
English, theatre arts, music, philosophy, or Japanese. Courses are also
available in
Spanish,
French,
Chinese,
speech and art.
